You didn't say, "Don't use Go for nuclear operations."
You said, "I don't want people who've ever used Go to work on nuclear operations."
The former is perfectly reasonable. The latter is a gross over generalization and extremely condescending.

- Ygg2 12y ago> You said, "I don't want people who've ever used Go to work on nuclear operations." Artistic license/ Rule of Funny. Using a correct form, wouldn't have been as funny.
